Mr.. Lucas Answers MIR. Davis.

The Hon. Daniel B. Lucas, APP
pointed United States Senator from
West Virginia by Governor Wilson,
has written a letter in reply to a re.
cent publication of the Hon. Henry
g. Davis, in which the letter urged
the election of United States Sena
tor at the coming called session of
the West Virginia Legislature. He
combats the proposition of Mr.. Davis
that "the greatest resources of wealth
I'D West Virginia are her large and
valuable deposits of coal, iron ore and
her timber.n Mr. Lucas puts against
these the interests Of agriculture and
fakor. which he says, monopolists
are prone to overlook, and whilst
disclaiming being what is called a
s'free trader he desires the doctrine
Of the national democracy carried
out by reduction of the surplus
revenue In reply to Mr.. Davis's
argument in favor Of the election of
Uninted States Senator, Mr.. Lucas
SAYS: "Mr. Davis's views upon the
gauge Of railroad or the terminal
facilities of steamboat wharf might
and no doubt would be, of interest,
but not being lawyer his views of
constitutional law have neither value
nor weight" Mr. Lucas adds: The
scare about the vancancy in the sen
material representation for the next
two years is absurd. because if The
called session have no power to elect
there will be no vacancy, and the
term OF the appointee will continue
until the regular session of 1882

PITTsBUR3, April ll.-Witn near
iy sixty freight. train employees in
Jail, the Pan Handle Railroad has
practically broken up long series
of burglaries from freight trains
which have extended over many
months. Out Of eighty crews run
ming into Pittsburg seventy-five have
been found to be corrupt. The arrest
war made early this morning, the
men being surprised at their board
lighthouses. They are not yet done.
When the arrests are completed
there will have been secured the
most daring and one of the largest
gangs of railroad robbers this coun-
t"y has ever heard Of Their steal
ings extend over period Of two or
three years, and aggregate nearly a
half million dollars.
Simultaneous arrests were made
all along the line of the Pan Handle
Road between here and Columbus.
Warrants have been in the hands of
officers for some time and the per-
sons arrested viii comprise nearly
The entire freight men of the line.
They include the conductors, brake
men, but no engineers or firemen
The ring leaders of the gang are out
side the railroad business, are known
and some of them are now believed
to be under arrest.
The first arrests were made about
2 O'Clock this morning, the police
surprising eighteen men at their
clearinghouse The men were
taken at once to Jail. Further ar
rests were made between 2 o'clock
and daylight, when forty.si men all

To Grow Large Pansies.

The following are the directions

dark clay loan, into which at least
one. half as much thoroughly decay
ed cow manure has been carefully
mixed, will produce large, richly-col-
ored, perfect formed flowers, Dur
inc the hot, dry weather of summer
the flowers will be small, but in the
spring and autumn, when the atmos.
phere IS n better condition, they
will lie large and beautiful. For au-
snmn blooming the seed may be
sowu in the spring in open ground
but for a spring display, the seed
MAJ be sown in September, and the
young plant, at the approach of
winter, covered with straw or leaves,

Umbrellas.

There is a language of umbrellas
as we'll as of flowers. For instance,
place your umbrella in a rack, and
it will indicate that it will change
owners. To open it quickly in the
street, means that somebody's eye
is going to be put out; to shut it,
that hat or two is to be knocked
off. An umbrella carried over a
woman, when the man is getting
nothing but the drippings of the
rain, signifies counting. When the
man has the umbrella and the wom-
an the drippings, it indicates mar
riage. To punch your umbrella in :
to person and then open it, means,
81 dislike you" To swing your UNI
brella over your head signifies 81
am making nuisance of myself"
To trail your umbrella along the
footpath means that the man behind
Won is thirsting for your blood. To
carry it at right angles under your
arm signifies that an eye is to be
lost by the man who follows you.
To open an umbrella quickly, it is
said, friGhtens a mad bull. To put a
Gotten umbrella by the side of silk
one signifies Exchange is no rob-
berry," To purchase an umbrella
means, IL am not smart but honest"
To lend an umbrella indicates, 81 am
fooi.n To return an umbrella
